Assessment criteria
Students take part in lectures broaden of computer simulations, illustrating transmitted contents. They are stimulated for asking the questions and for discussion.
Oral examinations undergo after the end of the course of Quantum Mechanics. They verify acquirement of knowledge.
Students get the series of questions, exercises and problems for individual and unassisted solving. During the course, students present solutions of given problems. Lecturer is advised to pay close attention to understanding used concepts and clarity of presentations. He stimulates students group for asking the questions and discussions. Lecturer tries to create sense of responsibility for team inside the students group and he encourages the group to join work.
Assessment of student learning is based on the grade, which includes:
1. Ability to solve the problems from define parts of quantum mechanics.
2. Ability to present the solutions.
3. Ability to discuss subjects and problems of the course.
4. Ability to use the literature and Internet sources.
5. Ability to collaborate inside the team.
6. Creative approach to solved problems.
Permanent grading by lecturer.
Final grade is expressed by the number established in the study regulation, which includes evaluation of the knowledge, abilities and competencies of the student.
